Brief history
This unique tug was the largest paddle tug in the Admiralty and spent all her working life at Devonport.
She was very handy at Naval reviews as she was built to carry passengers also, therefore she attended all the naval reviews between her completion and withdrawal in 1961 and was scrapped in 1962.
